Definition: Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. It ensures that a company has the resources—such as equipment, labor, and facilities—to produce goods and services in a timely and cost-effective manner.
This practice is crucial in manufacturing, IT infrastructure, and service industries to avoid overcapacity (excess resources) or undercapacity (resource shortages).
